Praise for AT WAR WITH THE WIND:

“[Sears] writes affectingly of the terror the “divine wind” campaign …Sears does a particularly good job of bringing in the various voices of the fast-dwindling corps of American survivors of hellish engagements at Leyte and Okinawa, among other places…of considerable interest to students of the Pacific War.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A work of power and passion … The finest account of the American reaction to the furious suicide raids that attempted to turn the course of the War in the Pacific.” —Donald L. Miller, author of D-Days in the Pacific
